Sometimes our Wisdom Circle group has chosen to hold a Circle gathering at a sacred site.A sacred site might be a place in nature, a church, a monastery, or as in the picture above, a labyrinth.
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that is in the form of an outer circle with a meandering pathway that leads to a center.
It was used in many different cultures for meditation and prayer or pondering important questions.
By walking the path in the labyrinth, one could spend time reconsidering their own life path and opening to Divine guidance and direction.
One way to experience the labyrinth is to focus on re-leasing all those things that no longer serve you as you walk on the pathway to the center of the labyrinth.
When in the center, one would focus on re-ceiving gifts from Spirit.
And when leaving the center and walking out of the labyrinth, one would focus on re-turning the gifts that are received back into the world in service.
By sharing this experience together as a Wisdom Circle group, we had an opportunity to imagine how other diverse cultures explored ways of reconnecting with their own souls.
By wondering about what might have brought meaning to them, we had a powerful experience ourselves.
Many in our group found that by taking a question into the labyrinth, they were making an appointment with their higher selves.
It created an opening to release more deeply and receive more fully.
A space was created within that could be truly filled with Spirit.
Our own questions and answers were surrendered and we opened to the ones from Above.
We found our questions changed and therefore, the answers did also.
By holding space for each member of the Circle to have an opportunity to experience the Divine fully, we created our own sacred sanctuary.
Sacred space is wherever and whenever we open to Spirit.
It is also wherever two or three are gathered together in the name of God.
Joy is welcoming the sacred into every moment and in every space that we are in.
